Long guide rods for a 1010 router

[CNX]

Hi all,

I wonder if anybody knows if I can get a pair of long rods for the edge guide of the OF1010 router.
Your suggestions would be appreciated!

Any 8mm or 5/16" rod will work.

Hi. You need have acessories No.488752.  For the production of two sets I used 8 mm steel rod for OF1010 and10mm for OF2200. The lengths may be different. I chose 750 and 1500 mm. But then I went on and did such. Limit only woodshop size.

Those are seriously impressive creations. Thanks for the ideas!

Oh, wow. That's impressive Alkaline.
And thank you all for the tips.

Is the 8mm rod something I can easily find in HomeDepot or Ace Hardware?

5/16" rod is 7.9375mm so is perfect too. For example;

Wow, [member=11629]GarryMartin[/member] You're always ready to assist no matter what side of the pond!  [big grin]

Just wanted to shout out a word of thanks to you for all the helpful and informative posts you make here on FOG.

Thanks, Mike A.

Garry is a fountain of knowledge and generous with it. This is what makes the FOG great. [emoji122]

McMaster Carr is a good resource for this stuff, since they have true milimeter sizing.  I found that the 5/16ths ones at Home Depot were too undersized when I tried to customize the length of my 1400 edge guide.  Not sure if the 1010's guide stop allows you to cut out more of the play than the 1400 edge guide, though:

I happen to be on Speedy Metals's's's's website, simultaneously. 
http://www.speedymetals.com/ps-3403-18-8-mm-rd-o-1-drill-rod.aspx

It's untreated 0-1 tool steel, though.

[member=21192]alkaline[/member] those can do some big arcs.

[member=19475]yetihunter[/member] What's the issue of using untreated 0-1 for this application?

[eek] I'm jealous.
What's the black border?  And maybe you could share (or repost) the thread where you do the insetting of those perpendicular boards.

Now that looks like something deserving of a few experiments! Thanks for pointing it out.  [big grin]

As usual, Alkaline plus wood equals magic!  That is one outstanding build!

Thanks for the inspiration.

The Aussie expression for normal sikaflex is, "sticks like $hit to a blanket".
Is that more of a silicon? or how did you prevent it from being everywhere?
